Oh to be a consistent Target Member!!

Fell down the stairs...most people would damage the lower back area, not me! I flipped in the air and hit my upper back area!!

Good grief!

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yes, when I've broken bones I've done good ones...coccyx stepping back onto a round marquee pole on the floor; when I fell I also banged the back on my head squarely so have 40% hearing loss due to nerve damage! Once did an over stride pushing a tesco trolley and broke my small toe...and now the ankle!

WOW Janet you have really been through it all! You and Joseph are lucky to have each other though. We too are really lucky, my dh's father came home from hospital this week! I really didn't think he would come home, he had been in hospital 5 weeks this week and amazingly his condition turned around last week and he looks SO much better, still very weak but much much better. Thank you god! I have also written all my food down this week and feel in control of it all. (well mostly). So pleased its weekend though.

 

[janetelizabeth]

That is excellent news about your father in-law Donna, as you said, thank God. Now may he go from strength to strength again. Enjoy your w/e off work and well done for writing everything down, I know it does help me too.

Bloomin' heck!

Do you have osteoporosis, or just unlucky?

When I was in Spain the orthopedic surgeon said I had it in my back along with spondylitis...to be truthful I never actually believed any of it. I did have some very good treatment, self administered injections, then nasal spray and finally Fosamax for several years. When I returned to the UK I did far too much lifting of heavy boxes and feared I broken something in that area again. I was sent for a special thermo xray and was told apart from seeing the faint scars of the fractures, my back was in very good shape. All the spaces in the correct places etc. I was pleased to hear that because of natural bone degeneration as we age. I've had lots of bone density scans and to be honest my bones are good and strong and have always been good for my age. The first one at 46 said I had the bones of a 30yr old women. They said sport at school, never smoking or drinking alcohol has helped preserved them.
I've taken a good daily calcium supplement for years too because of not eating any dairy since I was 24.

Sounds awfully painful Janet

Glad the scales are improving

No wonder from your history that you kind of knew that you hadn't broken your foot/ankle as obviously well in tune with your body!

I'm now off to google what fosamax?.

Oh Janet I hope you managed to sleep better after you had spoken with your son, I too was wide awake last night but I'd eaten loads in the day - all free food but I think the lentil and veg soup may have given me a windy tummy - over the day I did have the whole panful! enjoyed it though but not the distured night's sleep. Wishing you a better night tonight. hugs xxx

Thanks Donna but no I definitely didn't sleep after the chat. We finished just after 11, then I chewed it over with Joseph for another hour...then I still couldn't rest so propped up and read some of my kindle book on my phone.
Sarah's been to visit this afternoon and I'm seeing more improvement in her attitude towards Joseph. I wondered whether Matt would come too but he didn't.

Poor you...I think that amount would affect me too! Never mind...all healthy and free foods. Hope you sleep better tonight too.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

That's brilliant there's improvement long may it continue

 

[janetelizabeth]

I hope so Jaffa.... I talked to her about my chat with Matt too. She said she didn't know about it but I doubt that. Anyway was a chance to reiterate it to her as well.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Positive baby steps

 

[janetelizabeth]

That's the way I'm looking at it too.

Surprised after eating that garlic bread that scales are down 1/2lb - 10.4 1/4lb.
I do want to go to weigh in this week so am trying to stick to plan.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I didn't bother weighing today

 

[janetelizabeth]

Probably better to just concentrate on feeling better. Xx
